...was an Apple IIe in 1984. It had a 0.98 MHz processor, no hard drive, and I think 128k of RAM lol. Oh, and don't forget the green screen.

The Apple II is an Apple, not a Mac. The First Mac or Macintosh computer came out in 1984 with the first Consumer GUI Interface. The Apple II has no connection to the Mac except both came out of Apple. I had a IIc and IIe at one time.

I still have an old Mac 512 which was the 2nd Mac ever produced.

They are all Apple computers since Apple made/makes them, but the Apple II and the Mac are so different in every way and Jobs had a separate team that designed the Mac.

Myfirst Mac was an SE/30. My first computer from Apple was an Apple IIc, both of which I still have boxed up in their original boxes. Not sure why I can't seem to get rid of 'em.

Yeah, Apples and Macs coexisted once... but my first Computer was a DIGITAL Desktop with Windows 3.1 .. yeah I'm only 18. So that was back in 1992 and I had to logon to Windows by typing "win" at the DOS prompt. Then I used to play with Paintbrush (now known as Paint).

My first Mac I ever encountered was a grey box of which I don't remember the name. It had some huge number for a name. Then one day the had these cooool new gumdrop iMacs, people used to storm to use them.

But personally, I don't really see an advantage of a pre-OS X mac. I hated OS 9.

so macs before OS X were ok but were they buggy like windows is now or not. Now they have improved a lot i guess by introducing OS X and the intel switch from PowerPC.

My Apple IIE had no GUI lol. You had to use Apple Basic to run programs.

No GUI that would suck! But you made it through to having an iMac, Intel Style!!

I found an old SE/30 in my friends garage, but we blew the power supply and decided it would be best to destroy it. So the hammers came out and the remains are in a box in my garage somewhere. lol.

I wouldn't say that. OS9 is still a better OS than Win95 and even Win98 ever was. The system itself was old and was showing it's age though....

My first Mac was a Mac Classic that I started using at work back in 95...

The first Mac I ever owned was (is) a 17" 1.9 G5 iMac. :p

The first Apple computer I used would have been in elementary school. An Apple II or IIe for sure back in the early 80's.
